I’m always going on about the WIC program (Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children), and how important it can be for families. The program, through the New York State Department of Health (DOH), helps families with infants buy healthy foods, along with formula, baby food and cereal. The program also provides nutrition education and breastfeeding support.
